Mr.. BooKwALTER, of Ohio, thinks he sees
spond. There is but one way, he says, for
Democrats to win. 81 tell YOU" he declares,
eff the national convention will put into their
platform, without verbal jugglery, clear-cut
expression demanding tariff reduction or re-
form, thousands of Republicans will vote the
Democratic ticket" That he has misgivings
is evident, for he adds with a sigh, "The
Democratic party is cowardly, and straddles
the tariff issue; but if we ever come out
boldly for tariff reform we will win every
time" It is tremendous 'if,p and one out
of which Mr.. Bookwater and his friends are
entitled to all the comfort they can get be-
fore disappointment brushes them.

THE only safe way is for the district at
torney to place the defendants exactly on the
same plane as counterfeiters and moonshiners,
and prosecute them according to the usual
processes of the court.-Sentinel.
The above is from an editorial in Satur-
days Sentinel about Mr.. Sellers and the tally
sheet forgery cases, and is the one sensible
sentence in the article. But it is just what
District Attorney Sellers and Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Bailey do not do. The people
and the committee of one hundred want the
forgers and conspirators treated counter
feiters are treated, because that is just the
off.nse that has been committed by some
body. Who the somebody is, is the question.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has not expressed
any regret at having intended to return all
the old flags to the respective States. And he
has felt none. Lack of authority, not change
of purpose, caused the revocation Of the order.
Far from weakening the President, his con-
duct will strengthen him with the people.
Charleston News and Courier.
This confirms the Journals statement that
the South would appreciate the Presidents
motive and reward him for his good intentions
although they failed of accomplishment. It
may be remarked, however, that the Charles
ton paper is qualified to speak for the ''peo-
pie" of a limited section only. The Grand
Army of the Republic, for instance, composes
a considerable part of the population, and it
will hardly be maintained that the President
has strengthened himself with them.

THE GAS PROSPECT.

The indianapolis Natural-gas Company is
to be congratulated on the success of its
Harris farm" well, and it is to be hoped the
company will be equally successful with other
wells to be bored in the same neighborhood.
The largely increased flow of the Harris we'll
caused by the shooting gives it undoubted
commercial value, and seems to settle the
question of the existence of gas in paying and
piping quantities in that vicinity, distance
of about twelve miles from the city The
company above named has leases several
thousand acres of land, and with the Harris
we'll as starting point will prosecute its
search for gas with the confident expectation
of finding ample supply for piping. The
company embraces in its organization some OF
our leading capitalists and business men. 1t
has the capital necessary to carry out the IN
dertaking, and the Journal is assured that it
will do Other wells will be bored imme-
diately, and the work of laying pipes will
be commenced the neces-
sary arrangements be made. It is
probable the Council will pass the gas ord-
of Aldermen, and that it's general conditions
and schedule of prices will be accepted by
the company above named, and perhaps by
or two others. For gas will ultimately
be piped to Indianapolis from more than one
direction and more than one company. From
present indications the indianapolis company
will be the first in the field and will have the
honor of fixing low rate of prices, which
will have to be conformed to by all competi-
tors. The situation and prospect are very en-
couraging. The value of the introduction of
natural gas cannot be overestimated. No
event in the history of the city. since the
completion of its first railroad, has been of
greater value and Importance to its growth
and prosperity than will be the first
fire lighted from a well-laid line of
natural-gas pipe. The Journal has
persistently and consistently advocated
liberal and open ordinance to permit the use
of the streets and alleys of the city, under
proper restriction, to any and all companies
that would bring us this new and greatly-to-
be desired element of health, comfort and
economy. Every facility ought to be afforded
that can be, consistent with the preservation
of the streets and the laying of good and
durable pipes No obstruction should be
needlessly placed in the way. Gas at twelve
or fifteen miles, if found in abundance, will
afford healthy competition that cannot fail
to give clean and economical fuel, and a great
impetus to the prosperity and growth of the

ization last Monday is renewed evidence of the
dishonesty OF the Democrats in depriving him OF
his rightful position during the session of the
Legislature. It will be remembered that Mr..
Robertson chosen to the lieutenant govern
questioned until the Democrats discovered that
it would be necessary for them to hold the presi-
dency of the Senate il they hoped to elect Sem
their design, although it is by no means certain
that Mr.. Turpie will be given the seat in the
Senate the Indiana Democrats make no further
attempt to keep Mr.. Robertson out of the office
to which he was legally chosen. It was simply
one of those coarse. brutal proceedings by which
the Democracy has gained and hopes TO keep
power.

There is no trouble on the score of General

there were it would hardly be necessary for

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MANSFIELD, o., June pa Cincinnati paper
of to-day quoted dispatch having appeared
in the New York Tribune. Saturday. special
from Canton, O., in which Senator Sherman is
made to say that the. Fidelity Bank was origin
ally designed as a Democratic institution. which
was to be benefited vastly by it's selection as .
United States depository, and that Mr.. Sher-
man considers the recent business troubles in
Ohio possible forerunners of financial depres-
sion. for which he blames the ineficiency of tho
Cleveland administration. Tonight after hav-
ing been shown the dispatch. Mr. Sherman said
that the statement in the telegram was rot cor
rect; that he did not say that the Fidelity
National Bank Democratic institution
or was organized as a Democratic institution,
but he did say that. as he understood from the
papers, it made government depository
bank with considerable amount of government
deposits; he thought it was bad policy to make
new bank government depository. He did not
undertake TO state The effect of the failure, but
said that often from such unexpected financial
events panics sprung, but that he saw nothing in
the condition OF the country that need create
alarm. Mr. Sherman also said that the Cncin-
natl paper quoted is greatly mistaken in sup
posing that the Democratic party is not re-
sponsible for the accumulation of money in the
treasury, for no power in the government could
propose any mode of reducing the revenue ex-
cept the House of Representatives, which, UNI
fortunately, ia Democratic.
